Enrolling at the University of Stuttgart

Once you have been admitted to study, your next step will be to enroll formally as a student at the University. On this page you will find all the information you need to complete the enrollment process smoothly.

Once you have succeeded in being admitted to study, the next step is to enroll. You enroll online via the Campus Management System C@MPUS where you will find the Request for Enrollment form that you need to complete and submit. Until you complete the enrollment process you are not yet officially signed up as a student at the University of Stuttgart.

Make sure to complete your enrollment by the deadline stated in your letter of acceptance!

We will enroll you as soon as we receive your enrollment request with the required attachments before the deadline and you have paid all your fees. You will be able to download your Certificate of Enrollment from your student account on C@MPUS. You will receive your student ID through post office mail. If you have additional questions, be sure to check our enrollment FAQs(below) first for answers.

The enrollment countdown begins from the date of your acceptance and ends on the date indicated in your Letter of Acceptance. Please be sure to observe the following:

We must have received the Request for Enrollment with the required documentation by the deadline stated in your Letter of Acceptance (the date of receipt by the Admissions Office is decisive, not the postmarked date)

If we do not receive the Request for Enrollment by the stated deadline, the Letter of Acceptance will be void. The study place will be allotted to the next-highest ranked applicant. You must inform the Admissions Officeif for some reason you think you will miss the deadline so that we can assign you an alternate date before the start of classes.

You can have a third party complete the enrollment process on your behalf with your written authorization.

Enrollment deadlines as stipulated in the Letters of Acceptance for Master’s programs must also be observed. In most cases, the deadlines will be May 15 for the spring semester and November 15 for the fall semester.

1) A certification code which attests that the copy matches the original document.2) The signature of the attestor3) An imprint of the official seal (Official seals usually contain an emblem, a simple writing seal wil not be accepted.)

Additional rules:

If the copy consists of several single sheets, it needs to be attested that all sheets belong to the same document. It is sufficient to sign and place the certification code on only one sheet if all sheets are put on top of each other, stapled, and sealed in a way that every sheet contains a part of the official seal.

Every single sheet may also be authorized individually. In that case please pay attention that every sheet of the original document contains your name. If not, your name has to be included in the certification code together with an indication of the type of document.

If the front and back of a sheet contain a copy with relevant content, the certification code has to refer to both front and back. If not, front and back of the sheet have to be authorized individually.

If the original document contains a seal minted in paper this is usually not visible in the copy. In that case the certification code needs to be expanded and refer to the minted seal in the original document.
